Hello, this item is a framed print of The Praying Jew by Marc Chagall, measuring approximately 46 by 51 cm. The original painting was completed in 1914–1915 and is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. Chagall produced several lithographic and printed versions of this subject, particularly in the mid-20th century, which circulated widely among collectors and Jewish families after World War II. The print shown here, described as a gift in 1950, is consistent with these authorized reproductions distributed in limited runs by galleries and publishers to make Chagall’s work accessible.
As this is a reproduction and not an original lithograph signed by the artist, its value lies more in decorative and historical appeal than in rarity. Framed prints of Chagall’s works from this era typically sell between €200 and €600 depending on edition quality, condition, and provenance.
